About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern, bolt resistant white summer radish with long, even roots and a particularly mild flavour. Neptun stays crisp for a long time even in the heat and hardly tends to go hollow if you water regularly. You sow it from May into high summer in rows with a little spacing, because the roots grow strongly downwards. A robust, dependable variety for anyone who likes their radish mild.
Very mild with only a hint of heat, juicy and tender, easy to eat raw even for sensitive palates and for children.
